Win! China won women’s basketball! Fans are about to flood the Super Dome stadium of Sydney Olympic Park. The roof of this stadium, which is the same age as Han Xu, was once the largest solar power generation equipment in Australia. On this day, like a small sun, it radiates women’s basketball of China’s light from Sydney.
The light passed through the distance of 7 thousand kilometers to reach the distant China, the light passed through the 14-year time tunnel to reach the Wukesong Stadium in 2008, and the light passed through the 28-year long river and returned to Sydney, it was the world championship in 1994 and the place where China’s dream of women’s basketball began.
Starting from that origin, China’s women’s basketball light is like nutrient feeding a batch of players. By the golden autumn of 2022, 12 Chinese golden flowers grew up and thrived to the sun.
Bring Australia back to winter
On September 30, 2022, just after the autumn equinox, the winter and spring of Australia in the southern hemisphere came, and everything recovered. However, Australian fans in the dome stadium sat by the court, staring at the court with their eyes dead, it seemed that the joy of Australia’s victory and this season were all frozen in place by Wang Siyu’s two penalties.
The cold-blooded and ruthless Wang Siyu reminded helpless Australian fans of the winter a year ago. They watched Wang Siyu stained the stadium with blood and scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists with injury, and China won 1 point and 1 point in women’s basketball; in September three years ago, Wang Siyu scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the semi-final of the Asian Cup in women’s basketball, 2019, and China won 2 points women’s basketball……
Australians may be a bit depressed like the head of the black wind village. Who do you want to provoke?
Everything started in 2018. In that year, Wang Siyu, a small defender in Shandong women’s basketball, was selected for the national team for the first time in his career. He went to Jakarta with the team and won the Asian championship. However, in the women’s basketball World Cup elimination match that followed, 23-year-old Wang Siyu experienced the most painful defeat in his life. China women’s basketball was killed 41 points by Australia.
Wang siyu, who was 175cm tall, was 23 years old at that time and became famous very early. In the national games in 2013, she helped shandong to stand on the national championship podium for the first time in the history of basketball as a core defender. At that time, Yang Hengyu, who won the champion of the youth group with her, almost entered the 12-member list of the national team this year.
Born in Yantai, grew up in Shanghai and practiced in Chengyang of Qingdao, the changing living environment in the rush formed Wang Siyu’s strong heart. Australians did not expect that they gave Wang Siyu the most painful memory of the initial experience of the national team. Instead, they trained her to be an Australian killer. They saw a fight once in the future and repeatedly overhanded Australia.
Of course, Australia is not easy to buy…… In the Tokyo Olympic Games qualifier, they once broke Wang Siyu’s head.
In 2018, after the baptism of the national team, Wang Siyu returned to Shandong with an average of 12.4 points, 5 rebounds and 4.7 assists, and won the league snatching King with an average of 2.6 times in the game. He was selected as an All-Star and officially opened the Star Road. Later, she joined Xinjiang and reached the WCBA finals. She returned to Shandong last season. As combo guard, she has averaged 12 points and 5 assists for at least three consecutive seasons.
Wang Siyu stood on the free throw line. 28 years ago, Li Xin, the predecessor, beat Australia on the free throw line and reached the final of the international competition for the first time in the history of China women’s basketball. Last season, Wang Siyu sent out the highest shooting rate of 88.9% in her career in WCBA, but in fact, she only scored 8 free throws in the first 12 times of the World Cup.
Chinese fans folded their hands and prayed for her free throw to hit. They were extremely nervous, but Australian fans seemed to have known the result for a long time, with indifferent expression and the face turned ashy. As they expected, Wang Siyu opened his arms and told Australia that I came to defeat you!
Grow into a towering tree
“I am going to meet the next challenge.” A month ago, when Han Xu summarized the whole season of his WNBA New York Free team, he threw out such a sentence at the end. At that time, her coach Sandy Brown Delo and two teammates Sammy Whitcomb and Baker Allen only encouraged her and did not realize what would happen in the future.
Until the day a month later, they thought they knew Han Xu well and were severely slapped.
Under the siege and suppression of Australia, Han Xu scored 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 Cap 2 steals, completely defeating Australia’s internal line. It is not that coach Brown Delo has never seen such Han Xu. It was under her training that Han Xu, as a substitute, played an efficient performance in WNBA many times, but this night, she still looked at Han Xu, who was 207cm, who was out of her mind.
Han Xu, who was born in 1999, worked for CBA Sichuan men’s basketball with a height of more than 210cm, and she became one of the world’s best Heights in women’s basketball as an adult. Since Shijiazhuang junior sports school, she has been regarded as the successor of Zheng Haixia. The female version of Yao Ming, Zhou Qi, has been in Tsinghua University for several years, but she was not in the U16 Asian youth competition in 2015, it was not until Li Yuelu was injured in 2016 that she was urgently transferred to Guoqing.
The World Youth League scored 18 points and 18 rebounds against Spain for 5 cap, bringing the national youth women’s basketball into the top four, come to fame in an activity. Since that year, han xu has taken a step every year. In 2017, he led tsinghua affiliated high school to win the national high school championship, represented shandong to win the youth group championship of the national games, won the championship in the jakarta asian games in 2018, and started his career in xinjiang, in 2019, he was selected by WNBA and won the Asian Cup runner-up and the military Games championship, playing in Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021.
“I want to be the best of myself.” Han xu, who doesn’t like to stay in the comfort zone, has been challenging all the time. She gave up the super high salary of WCBA and went to WNBA to do blue collar. Once she couldn’t challenge, she went to WCBA for the second time, finally, he handed over an average performance of 8.5 points, 3.6 boards, 0.7 cap last season.
In just one month, han xu changed from a small handyman of the free men team to the super core of china’s women’s basketball. She cultivated a faster shot, better confrontation and more calm psychology in WNBA, which changed with each passing day, her coach was caught off guard and had nothing to do.
23 years old is like a flower, but accidentally it becomes a towering tree.
Those who wait for the wind
With a high fever of 39 degrees, Li Meng became the only player out of the 12 golden flowers. As the scoring king of the team, she missed the historical moment when she reached the final women’s basketball. It was another miss. Just like six years ago, 21-year-old Li Meng averaged 16.5 points in the third season of WCBA and 25.5 points in the playoffs, but Tom mahch insisted on not taking her to the Rio Olympics.
Li Meng is the most aggressive outside player in China’s women’s basketball in recent ten years. In 2010, she averaged 15.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4 assists, won the third place in the U17 World Youth Championship and won the MVP trophy. In 2014, at the age of 19, she and Yang Liwei were selected into the world championship in Turkey. They were the future stars of the national team at that time.
However, things are always tortuous and bizarre. Li Meng rapidly grew into a super scorer in WCBA, but he failed the 2015 Wuhan Asian Championship and the 2016 Rio Olympics in succession. Mahch said that her defensive ability could not meet the requirements. When she returned to the league, Li Meng cut off 20.5 points on average and stole 2.3 times in passing games. She just wanted to prove herself.
In 2017, Xu Limin took over the national team under her guidance. Then on the Asian Cup list, Li Meng’s name finally appeared. Now, she is the strongest outside attacker in women’s basketball. Unfortunately, it was a pity that he came to the door again. Li Meng’s fever did not retreat. China’s women’s basketball loss General, Captain Yang Liwei stepped forward at a critical moment.
The more difficult it is, the more true it is. Yang Liwei seems to have been waiting for such an opportunity. Li Meng and Li Meng were partners in the youth era. Yang Liwei, who was 176CM tall, also became famous young. She and her sister Yang Shuyu came to Dongguan, Guangdong province from Kunming, Yunnan province. Both of them played very masculine, in the rookie year of the 13-14 season, she was selected as a WCBA All-Star, but she was questioned along the way.
In the 14-15 season, she averaged 5.1 points in the league, but only 31.2 percent hit, 4.3 assists and 3.8 mistakes. In short, it is a defender who is less powerful than Wei appeared in WCBA. Her style of play is quite characteristic, but it is also a headache many times.
If you like Yang Liwei’s ferocity, you will naturally have to bear her frizz.
Time was soft and changed a person inadvertently. Yang liwei finally waited for everything she expected. In the jakarta asian games in 2018, she got the role of a bandit on the bench she dreamed. Back to the club, she began to become the champion reaper. In the 21-22 season, she played the best season of her career. In the regular season, she sent 6.9 assists in 19 minutes, with only 1.1 mistakes. In the playoffs, she released her fire and shot 47.1 percent of the three points, winning the first FMVP in her career.
Therefore, returning to the World Cup, the Chinese women’s basketball, which lacked external attack Fire, seemed to be a customized World War I for Yang Liwei. As the captain, Yang Liwei had been waiting for such a wind in her career for the past 9 years, which made her unable to take care of other things. Hua Shan went straight to rim without scruple, then enjoy the victory happily.
Champion combination as green leaf
What made Yang Liwei comfortable was her teammates, Huang Sijing in 1996 and Li Yuelu in 99. Different from her absence from the national team for several years, these two were frequent guests of the national team from the youth team, never missed by the national team.
Huang Sijing is the best No. 4 player in China at present. He is good at defense and high Organization. He can also throw three points and have short hair, which is often described as “women’s Durant”. Li Yuelu was a heavy insider. In 2016, she won the double 20 + in Japan in the Asian Youth League final. In most of the national team events in the past few years, she was the pillar core. They are scarce players of the national team, and naturally they will be called in the battle.
In the development of modern basketball, all-round attack lines like huang sijing are strategic resources, and she is also the only player in this national team who has ever played in rio olympics. It was precisely because of her strength in the same position as li yuelu that guangdong helped to complete the mobile dynasty with three championships in 4 years (the playoff of 19-20 season was canceled) from dongguan to inner mongolia.
The Inner Mongolia champion group is far more than them, and Yang Liwei, Pan Zhenqi and Zhang Ru have to be added, accounting for 5 of the 12-person list, and when they won the championship in 2021, li Yuan of Shandong was actually working in Inner Mongolia at that time. The performance of this group of Inner Mongolia champions in the national team is not as powerful as the club. They continue to play supporting roles and do dirty work.
Huang Sijing performed well against Australia, but she had thigh performance in the last match against France.

Harden-style small steps retreat three points……
Break the pass block…… Front line all-purpose adhesive
Huang Sijing was originally a sweeping front line, doing professional All Purpose Balm Work. After being targeted, Li Yuelu changed from an absolute attack core to a strategic weapon. Sister Yue played the World Cup very crudely and did not play well personally, but her fighting spirit did not weaken at all. She devoted at least once every game to fight for it. As a player with the largest weight load of women’s basketball, she had to be sentimental.
Young Zhang Ru and Pan Zhenqi, Space No. 4, are all Henan girls. Pan Zhenqi, born in 95, has a very strange attribute. So far, she has one runner-up in the National Games, two WCBA runner-up and one Asian Cup runner-up, only once won the Championship in 2019. Perhaps in most of the World Cup competitions for runner-up around the world, her runner-up attribute is an interesting BUFF.
Pan Zhenqi
In 1999, Zhang Ru, Han Xu and Li Yuelu were all teammates of the National Youth. This little sister had a harmless face of human beings and animals, but playing on the court had a sense of recklessness and bandit. This sense of contrast made her receive three fouls in 6 minutes when she replaced Li Meng’s first start, but it also further improved her popularity and her expression package had already gone out of the circle.
Bring your own cute breath……
Zhang Ru, who is 185cm tall, still has a broad future. As long as he is polished carefully, he will certainly become an instrument. If they play for one minute, their efforts will eventually converge into a spark of victory.
The light on the bench
Wu Tongtong missed two big seats and three points. Li yuan made a air ball passing mistake. Jin Weina stumbled and dared not to take the shot. Delana di lishati sat on the bench again. The focus of the game has never stayed on them, but there are always people constantly paying attention to their mistakes. In a team, the most stressful players are not the core players, just the edge of rotation.
Li Yuan in 00’s was the youngest and smallest player in the team. Since the national youth, she has known Han Xu and Li Yuelu, and she is also expected to become an organizational brain like Zhao Jiwei, but she fought far less than the last battle with Australia. Zheng Wei’s guidance kept calling her to her side in the interval, which was very convenient.
Li Yuan is not good at attacking. When facing some strong teams such as the United States and Australia, the opponent will often test the personal offensive ability of holding the core of the ball. At this time, she will seem a little embarrassed. Even in the past season, she kept practicing three points and cast 43.8 percent of the three points in the league, but she still couldn’t tear the space like wang siyu and yang liwei.
But even so, she never forgot the survival rule of the little man, running and running, and then running. At the end of the day, before she went off, facing the breakthrough of the Australian insider, she firmly stuck beside Han Xu, facing the tall Australian insider, holding the ball with her hands to death, finally, he won a precious ball right for the team. She shouted angrily to vent. Even though she was very small, she was still willing to do her best for the team.
Wu Tongtong is the most interesting player in this team. From Fuxin basketball school in Liaoning to Changsha in Hunan province, he led Changjun middle school to win the national championship in 2013 and then entered Hunan Normal University, in 2015, he averaged 29.1 points, 4 rebounds and 4.8 assists in CUBA games, then he was brought into WCBA by Shanxi and averaged 20 + in the 20-21 season. The fans called her “Ginobili” and played very well. In the recent match, they entered two pressure whistle.
Compared with Wu Tongtong, Dilana had fewer opportunities. She was the substitute found in Dongguan after Li Yuelu left, but she also had a glorious past. In the 2018 Asian Games, she was the gold medal winner of three-to-three women’s basketball. They beat Japanese women’s basketball severely in the final.
Dilana
Last goal against Puerto Rico
The unyielding weeds also have inspirational legends. Jinvina is the oldest player in the team and the only 30-year-old player. In fact, this was not the first time she was selected for the national team. In 2014, she fought for the incheon asian games together with the olympic women’s basketball. However, after that, she did not play for the national team for 8 years.
Li Meng had a high fever and Zhang Ru had a foul crisis. Zheng Wei’s guidance saw Jin Weina on the bench at a critical moment. She didn’t play in Belgium and France. She was ordered in danger. This battle was played for 30 minutes, second only to Yang Liwei. Zheng Wei’s guidance continued to give her psychological massage, expecting her to quickly integrate into the competition and give full play to her delicate and comprehensive skills. Last season, she averaged 10.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists in women’s basketball games in Jiangsu.
Waiting for the harvest finally, the last two teams were glued. Jin Weina suddenly changed the line when holding the ball outside the line, breaking Australia’s defense and tearing the outside line. The forbidden area was empty and hit. That was the only goal she scored in the game. The key came. It was priceless, full of knowledge and enthusiasm. The wild grass was like this, and it was perseverance.
Flowers, trees, green leaves, and women’s basketball of Chinese girls complement each other and cooperate with each other. Just as Zheng Wei guides, this is the characteristic of Chinese women’s basketball. Team basketball is our culture, we absorb the energy from the sun and finally grow into a forest of hope.
